Is making My Name Is Earl as much of a laugh as it seems?
Oh, we have a blast! The guys are really entertaining. They’re boys. They forget us girls are on set, so we get an earful of very male information. I didn’t grow up with brothers, so a lot of it was scary to me. They curse a lot, they’ll spend hours throwing paper into a trash can shouting and screaming like they’re at an NBA game.
That’s fairly standard behaviour where we work, too…
I know, but I went to an all-girls school and I only had sisters. My dad was in a house ruled by women, so he was quiet. I never got to really see this. My poor father. To this day, he’s never spoken a word.
He must be proud of you, though?
Oh yeah, but don’t tell him about this shoot. I know I look pretty and who wouldn’t want a pretty daughter, right? My father.
Did you enjoy the shoot?
Oh, I just loved it. I’m only 5ft 5in, but in the photographs I look taller because I’ve got long legs and a long neck. I don’t look like a feisty midget anymore. It’s great.
So what happens in the third series of My Name is Earl?
Well, at the moment, nothing! All the Hollywood writers are on strike so we’re suspended halfway through. I really love working on Earl. When I’m on it, I don’t really want to do anything else. I don’t really like going out and doing auditions. And the new series is really funny, all the characters are a lot more part of the storyline, I feel like part of a big family. And Catalina is stripping a lot more.
